Often I've wondered what it'd be like to watch my HD team play instead of just reading their box scores the following day. I've wondered what it'd be like to attend a Conference Playoff game, where it'd be, who's cheer block would be louder, etc... 20 years from now, HD could be like:

"To renew your next season, please pay $149." Or, perhaps the "$" might not exist anymore. We'll be using some type of "unit" system that automatically comes out of our account, through use of bar code, tattoo'd on our wrists.

Watching our games from the bench, like a real coach, will be exciting, as our houses/rooms will be draped nanotechnology, transforming our rooms into the gyms or our choosing.

The game engine will allow us to coach in "real-time," which will allow us to make changes in middle of the game - just in case our crap Man to Man Defense isn't working, or double-teaming Jim Bob Smith is leaving too many other opposing players open.

We'll be able to meet our recruits "face to face," and lie to 'em about how great it'll be to come play for our school. Perhaps we could even read facial expressions on a kid's face instead of getting the obligatory message of how "your school sucks," and how "he's holding out to play for a higher division."

Maybe there will be no HD at all? Hasn't some other civilization predicted the end of our world between now and then?

There is a site out there...Sports Sim...not sure if they're still around or not, but played one season of their ****** cbb game, and that's all she wrote. If you think HD sucks, pine the landscape, because it's barren. Shockingly enough, I think I gave them a piece of my mind and spoiled my welcome lol...I think I just talked **** about their game on their boards and lauded how good HD was/is...seemed like such a crapshoot.

i think it would take more than one basketball sim competitor to put them out of business, i just think sim sports has to get bigger eventually. the reality is such a small % of the potential market for the WIS games even knows it exists - so i think you could have a bunch of companies doing it, with a handful bigger/more successful than WIS.

and i guess there is always the hope that they will come around and care about their games again - i just don't think they can go on not caring for a lot longer. if they start caring, anything is possible...
